Guide to User Story for PMI-ACP Exam

User Story is an important component of Agile project management. It is a simple, concise description of a feature or requirement, told from the perspective of the person who desires the capability, usually a user or customer.

The 'why' of its importance lies in its simplicity and perspective. User stories help keep the focus on the user's needs and simplify the requirements communication process, thereby improving project outcomes.

A typical user story works using the 3Cs - Card, Conversation, Confirmation. The 'Card' is the written story, the 'Conversation' is the team discussion about the story, and the 'Confirmation' is the acceptance criteria of the story.

Answering questions regarding User Story in an exam requires understanding the core components of a user story and its application in agile project management. An example question could be 'What are the 3Cs of a user story?'

Exam Tips:

  • Formulate or identify user stories using the standard template: {{"As a [type of user], I want [an action] so that [a benefit or outcome]."}}
  • Understand the concept of the 3Cs while answering questions.
  • In questions presenting a situation, focus on the user's needs and how the user story can fulfill them.
